A ticket for one of our house tours gives you the same estate access from 11am as a Gardens & Grounds ticket, but with additional access to the main House on one of our guided tours.
We run 2 tours daily at 12:30pm & 2:15pm.
When we are open to the public guided tours last approx. 1 hour & 20 minutes. The tour visits several rooms on the ground floor and first floor, concluding in the library wing with easy access onto the lawn & Orangery tea room.
Due to the delicate nature of many of the objects within the house, we operate a checked bag system for rucksacks, etc. These have on previous occasions inadvertently knocked over items causing damage & breakages. Please do not bring large bags to the house tour unless you are happy for these to be stored whilst you enjoy the guided tour.
If you have any question or query regarding a visit to Ugbrooke please do not hesitate to contact us.
